Four different quasi-static flow curve models were investigated to describe flow curves of austenitic (304) and ferritic (430) stainless steel sheets. Uni-axial tensile tests were carried out and material constants of the models were determined by curve fitting technique. Applicability of these models over the uniform: plastic deformation region was evaluated according to the value of nonlinear regression parameter R2. It was observed, that the predictions made by El-Magd model are in good agreement with the experimental data for both 304 and 430 stainless steel sheets.
